He frequented Star Wars events and celebrations and loved nothing more than to meet with fans and discuss all things Star Wars. Mayhew also had a huge heart for charity and helping those in need, particularly those struggling financially due to disease, trauma, painful conditions, and more. Peter sparked the creations of the Peter Mayhew Foundation which continues his legacy of helping others after his passing.
